Camping

There are no "drive to" campgrounds in Voyageurs National Park. 

For those with access to a boat, you may sleep under the stars in one of over 200 designated "boat-in" campsites in the park. Be serenaded by loons, and listen for the chance to hear the howl of a wolf.

A free permit is required for overnight stays in the park. You can get your permit at a park visitor center during regular business hours, or self-register at one of the permit stations located near all park boat launch facilities.

Most campsites in the park are available only on a "first-come, first-served" basis, with the exception of designated group campsites which may be reserved by calling 1-877-444-6777 or by visiting http://www.recreation.gov.

There are drive-up campsites located just outside of the park at the Woodenfrog State Forest Campground on Kabetogama Lake and the Ash River Campground on Ash River. For more information call (218) 365-7229.

There are also several hike-in campsites on the Kabetogama Peninsula, but a boat is required to access the trailheads.

Camping in Voyageurs National Park is limited to 14 days at a specific site between May 15th and September 15th, and a maximum of 30 days in a calendar year.
